It's been quite a year, this 2016. Americans "elected" a 70-year old, tangerine-sprayed, KKK-endorsed, pussy-grabbing, fascist, thin-skinned, daughter-lusting, draft-dodging, roly-poly, banana republic third-world man-baby dictator dropped off from the Planet Idiocracy for president, but that didn't keep my spirits down! I kept on trucking, listening to more new albums than ever, resulting, interestingly enough, in my smallest Albums of the Year post yet. But it's that classic total of 10 that everyone seems to love so much for some odd reason. "THERE CAN ONLY BE AN EVEN 10 GREAT ALBUMS PER YEAR" said the Lord. And so it shall be. At least for this year. 2017 does appear to be shaping up as a potentially great year for the long player, but in the meantime, there were 10 great LPs this year, including one fantastic "Album of the Year".

This presentation is in no particular order. They're all viewed as equally great here at the offices of Ghostlife, Ltd. Oh, and there's a dope 10 song Spotify playlist on the last page, so once you're done reading every word I've what I wrote, then you can reward yourself with listen. OK - enjoy!
